Education will be a good beginning to make America great again. Right now we're living and dealing with the results of ignorance, sadly.

@VasilyLykov 7 лет назад

Overturning citizens united isn't good enough. We need a constitutional amendmant to completely get money out of politics. We need to prosecute anyone who sends or receives large sums of money in politics.

@qones3574 7 лет назад

Keep agitating on this. You're 100% correct in your longterm prognosis of the problem.

@DavidSmith-ss1cg 7 лет назад

Basil Lykov - We should, but America has to go with the first of the famous 12 steps, and admit that there's a problem. Until we accept that lawyers and the Just Us" system ARE the problem, nothing can be done. Our congressctitters are mostly lawyers, taught in college that they will be running the country, and they're all OK with comedy from Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler, and what they can remember from school is "We Don't Need No Education." You're right, We are in trouble.

I would like to see us adopt the British system wherein the whole thing takes 6 weeks and the candidates get allotted airtime on TV stations. Instead of the bombardment of ads for months.

Franken makes a great observation about citizens united.

@theghostofdemonratspast9580 7 лет назад

every time i see al franken i think of a show from the 90s where he works at a news station and they make him go outside in a blizzard and ask him questions and he cannot hear all al says is WHAT fucking hilarious

@ryanvaubel7186 7 лет назад

Tyler Weston That was a skit on Saturday night live during the first gulf war. He was a correspondent in the desert with the satellite on his head

@theghostofdemonratspast9580 7 лет назад

It was lateline

@screwyootube1 7 лет назад

Loved him in Lateline! But he was the only one on the show that was any good. The show badly needed a complete overhaul.

@1stDiaperDon 6 лет назад

He's not only a comedian - he's smart! We need more comedians in there.

@TyrSkyFatherOfTheGods 7 лет назад

"You give me money, Bill." "Al Franken, great to see ya! Senator Al Franken everybody! We'll be right back!" lol

@ericconnor8251 7 лет назад

Al Franken rules. Don't agree with all of his positions, but he's a genuine human being.

@gspendlove 7 лет назад

What a wonderful surprise it was to see Senator Franken on the show last night! I've been a big fan for years--since '96, in fact, when he released his book _Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations_. When I read that book, I thought, "Finally! Somebody's got the guts to take Limbaugh on and expose him and his bullshit!" And that's what made that book a bestseller--people like me who were sick to death of attacks on President Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party from the right. I'm surprised neither Bill nor the senator noted that this year is that book's 20th anniversary, which means that 2016 marks two decades of Al Franken taking right-wing liars like Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Coulter and ruining them with the truth (and jokes).

@avedic 7 лет назад

Great comment! And profile pic... O_O

@seeamerica1 7 лет назад

All of his books are great reads

@screwyootube1 7 лет назад

Agreed, 100% All of Al's books are as hilarious as they are informative! And some came at a time, when it was desperately needed - Dubya in office & GOP-controlled Congress making horrible decisions - the humor in Al's books gave me hope. And then... Obama! Hallelujah! (I'm a huge fan of his, too - And I wish he would come on Bill's show!)

@innersub3699 7 лет назад

8:17 what a call out

@VivekAnandJ 7 лет назад

Bill Maher just hits the nail on the head! I'm waiting for him to talk about the Dakota pipeline though!

@williamdelorenzo4089 7 лет назад

i understand his reasoning behind his decision to be serious his 1st term, he ran to make a difference. i think he did a great job, whether you agree with his politics or not. that being said, i am so glad to see him and his intellegent observational humor back. i need a good laugh!

@lwdick1639 6 лет назад

LOVE Al Franken

@brianjoyce9040 3 года назад

And then his own Democrats turned on him. If that does not explain the RNC/DNC dynamic of duopoly few things do. I believe he was one of our truest most honest hardworking senator, not just because he wasn’t a lawyer, we have seen in many years.

@OneAdam12Adam 3 года назад

They thought they saw lies were bad then. Wow! It's outrageous 4 years later.

@clarkpalace Год назад

And has just got a bit better now after the 2022 midterms.

@RichardBaran 7 лет назад

@conniecook8095 7 лет назад

When this was aired, we were worried that the Citizens United decision wouldn't be overturned. Now, we have to worry about Trump and the Republican party overturning our whole government and way of life!

Why not have a maximum amount of say $500. Then it would be about popular policy,not the ones wanted by wealthy individuals.

@pguardiario7850 7 лет назад

Al's a classy guy. Bill tried to bait him into dissing his FL colleague but he didn't bite.

@MrROKinROK 7 лет назад

I still think the funniest thing every uttered on Politically Incorrect was during the OJ verdict days. When the panel was asked what they thought OJ would do with his life, Al Franken responded "I think he'll kill again." Ya had to be there.

I love looking and listlngt at this station

@patrickbriggs8409 7 лет назад

Best part is when Al tells Bill he's a waste of time. Not that I don't like Bill, but you could see it set Bill back. Like he was thinking, "My money is a waste of time?" Which is exactly the problem with money in politics.

@christianalmli9085 7 лет назад

This guy has a striking similarity to Lewis Black.

@tracer740 7 лет назад

I don't see it as "striking" however, upon close observation there may be a rather 'oblique' (physical) similarity. On the other hand, their capabilities to examine issues and come up with comedic content or resolutions are very similar.

@jayejacobs5985 7 лет назад

Check out old SNL skits from the 70's and 80;s... he used to write for SNL and he also was in Trading places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyed.

@tracer740 7 лет назад

Jaye Jacobs Respectfully, I recognize your point and your reaction but my only reply is, that to me, it's just not as "striking". We may still be friends, yes?

@jayejacobs5985 7 лет назад

Liche Christ Did not mean it in the negative at all, just wanted you to check out the videos, because they are funny....and yes we can still be friends lol

@humility1st 7 лет назад

Ahhhh sweet! Thank you Liche Christ and Jaye Jacobs! Charming conversation. LOL 3 months but I want to tell you. Thank you.

@qones3574 7 лет назад

Keep pushing on Citizens United. Please! We need so much momentum. It's gotta be bi-partisan. Nearly everyone agrees. Keep pushing.

@onomatopoeia162003 7 лет назад

or even our other senator Amy. XD

Amy would make a good Supreme Court justice

@onomatopoeia162003 7 лет назад

idk if she would wanna do it

@lalalalala6413 7 лет назад

He would've been a much better candidate. I wanted him to be our VP. He would've been a good fit for Hillary. Midwestern, strong, funny, but willing to take the backseat. Hopefully, he gets offered a cabinet position, but he may not want to leave elected office.

@tracer740 7 лет назад

Jimmy- He may very well be, in the near-distant future. And not that it's important in any pertinent manner, He will continue a mode of 'firsts', precedent-ed by John F Kennedy and Barack H Obama. i.e first Catholic President; 1st Negro President; 1st Jewish President.

john oliver had a good piece about campaign financing where they show politicians going into a cubicle to raise funds by calling people on the phone, that's what they are talking about at around 7:30

@dootdoot1867 7 лет назад

Campaigns should be financed by people and matched by the collective money. If you like a Candidate and donate 20 Dollars that is matched by the government x5. So your 20 Dollar donation becomes 100. Everyone is capped at the 2-5,000 limit. That way any candidate can get funding based on their ideas. Our Politics becomes a marketplace of Ideas.

@user-ie9jz5gt8y 11 месяцев назад

@robertjahrig4474 7 лет назад

Mark Twain said the truth is a precious commodity. You need to be economical with it. Must be why Trump has succeeded thus far. Wish lies were as precious. ABT (anybody but Trump) folks. Stay strong.

@erixxxblue2698 7 лет назад

before you can insult a person's intelligence the person must have intelligence

@seeamerica1 7 лет назад

I agree with AF! Campaign $$ should be made by the public Not lobbyists & corps. If each person paid just $1 into a fund via their taxes each election year (meaning every 2 yrs), & it was divided between the three main parties that would give $107.9 Million to each & provide an equal opportunity to all parties. Make lobbying illegal. It sure would eliminate the big industries & corps from secret lobbying for their own interests & against the interests of the people. Oh by the way All of AF's book are super reads!

@nancychace8619 3 года назад

Bravo! Pretty good. Re: lying - Unfortunately, lots of people don't like to hear the truth. It upsets their applecarts. My mom was in the car business for years. For a time she sold some pretty nice ones, but she used to come home thoroughly frustrated sometimes b/c if she was completely honest about a car, the customer would sometimes shy away from it. You might think it natural that a car salesperson might fudge a little about some flaws in a car, but it can also work in reverse... the car can be excellent but a skittish customer might shy away in any case, simply b/c they can't digest what they are hearing - the truth. She never outright lied in a hurtful way, but I think she became savvy to people's "filters" - we all have them - you know the ones 🙂 - and learned to accommodate them. She sold cars.

@dbunik44 7 лет назад

I'd also like to ask the senator if he believes climate change is such a big issue then why did Barack Obama approve a 117 million dollar expansion for a coal mine in Montana?...granted it's not senator Franken's fault but I'd like to know his thoughts on that issue

@kilroy987 7 лет назад

Yeah, people reward the lying. They like the bravado (wrong word, but I can't think of the right one) of it. It's time for people to pay for rewarding it, and get serious. The righteous might be infuriating, but it's been made pretty clear what happens when power is awarded to people who care even less about the truth so much that it's more frightening than fun. Oh, I didn't realize this was an old video, it could have just as easily played yesterday!
